Those restrooms on the golf course. Are they for the general public?

If, in fact, all restroom facilities in TV are legally considered public facilities then I'll back off and have to accept the situation or decide to look elsewhere for my retirement living.
We all have our hot buttons and this one is mine.
It would be a shame to not retire to TV over an issue such as this.

You guys need to put this on the next POA agenda. You guys have too much time on your hands if you are worried about someone using a bathroom.

Bogie,

Well, it speaks to a larger issue. If you own in a home in TV you pay an amenity fee. IMO that fee should allow only Villagers and their guests to use Villages facilities.

On our LSP last month we entered several Rec Centers and we were never asked for ID. Some of the receptionists desks were unattended. The pools could be used by anyone as there is not restricted access to them.
I read in another post that a woman said she had to get a priority membership to use the country club pools because laborers were sitting by her community pool while they were eating their lunch.

And now I'm reading that the restrooms are used by laborers.

Why can't the other amenities be as tightly controlled as the golf courses?
You have to show you ID more than once before you're allowed to tee off, right?

I really do like TV, but I think there is a image of exclusivity that is not the reality.

Hey, maybe its just me! What do others think?

And yes, I'd have to learn to live with it because TV has so many other things going for it.

Question! If two or three or five or eight or 15 construction trucks stopped at your house every day and asked to use your bathroom, would you let them? After all who's worried about someone using a bathroom?

You are comparing apples to oranges with that comment. That is all I am going to say because I still think you guys are being very petty, but then again if I remember correctly you have an issue with dogs going to the bathroom as well.

Respectfully, I think Talk Host is comparing apples to apples, but is expanding the scope to include all TV amenity restrooms.

A long shiny black limousine stops briskly at curbside near one of those outhouses.

The occupant steps quickly out of the rear seat and rushes into the outhouse.

The occupant is the President of the U.S., Donald Trump, Sean Connery, whoever he is you idolize him.

Do you still have the same complaint he not paying amenities and using the john?

Oh yes, he waved at you as you golfed with your buddies.

To pee or not to pee? That is the question.

One time, one president, one 007 is different that a daily litany of non paying visitors. If that list of people did it every day, I would have the same complaint.

I agree. The restrooms are for villagers only. Let's make them go by a tree or bush.

To pee or not to pee? That is the question.
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows and bad aim of construction workers,
Or to take up arms against a sea of pee,
By going to the POA, the HOA, the PRUS,
And through the power of paying the fee to pee,
Gain access only by noble plastic card,
And henceforth, banish all Restroom signs from TV,
Replacing them with signs that say “Swipe & Wipe.”

But, in doing so, entitled ones may doom themselves to sleepless nights,
Lying awake, inviting madness,
Lying awake, wondering when oh when,
Will such a deed come back to haunt?
Alas, when will the phony, fake ID’s appear?
Thus changing all TV Restroom signs, once more,
To “Fake and Shake.”

Adieu,
Boomer

That's quite good Boomer. Hamlet and pee.

Have you heard of the new book which mixes Jane Austin with zombies? Think you would like it. http://austenprose.wordpress.com/200...bies-is-haute/

Aw, c'mon, TH, Bargee was just playing Shakespeare with me. And when I saw that post, it inspired me to write that little Hamlet parody.

TH, you know, sometimes English majors just gotta have fun, too.

Well, Mr. Tony besmirches English majors. And Garrison Keillor besmirches English majors.

And now, oh no!!! And now.......et tu, TH?
